WWE SmackDown results, Oct. 8, 2015: Reigns & Orton countered fear with fortitude against Bray Wyatt & Braun Strowman

Ziggler demanded payback on The New Day

PHILADELPHIA — SmackDown featured an epic clash pitting The Viper and The Big Dog against The Wyatt Family, an explosive Six-Diva Tag Team Match and a knockdown, drag-out slugfest between The Human Wrecking Ball and The Bulgarian Brute.

How will Dolph Ziggler get payback on The New Day?: SmackDown, October 8, 2015

After being attacked on Raw, The Showoff picks a fight with an old friend.

The New Day kicked off SmackDown, excited about taking down United States Champion John Cena, Dolph Ziggler and The Dudley Boyz on Raw and primed to take on Bubba Ray and D-Von for the WWE Tag Team Titles at Hell in a Cell. But the trio clearly possessed little affection for The City of Brotherly Love.

The Showoff soon interrupted, however, seeking retribution after being cost a U.S Title Match on Monday night. He demanded a one-on-one contest against his onetime ally Big E. And just to match sure the fight would be fair, he brought The Dudleys along with him.

Big E def. Dolph Ziggler

Dolph Ziggler vs. Big E: SmackDown, October 8, 2015

Former cohorts go to battle, with The New Day and The Dudley Boyz backing them up outside the ropes.

In the height of Dolph Ziggler and Big E’s impromptu match, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston managed to neutralize Bubby Ray and D-Von Dudley. This allowed Woods to distract the referee while Kingston interfered — and then held Ziggler’s feet down, just out of the official’s view, to assure Big E’s victory.

Natalya, Charlotte & Becky Lynch def. Team Bella

Natalya, Charlotte & Becky Lynch vs. Team Bella: SmackDown, October 8, 2015

"Team NBC" locked horns with The Bella Twins and Alicia Fox.

In the latest twist to the Divas Revolution, Team Bella challenged Charlotte and Becky Lynch to pick their tag team partner for a Six-Diva SmackDown showdown. That Diva was Natalya!

In the final moments of the subsequent match, The Queen of Harts thwarted interference from Brie. And while she tangled with both the mischievous twin and Alicia Fox outside the ring, Becky delivered a kick to Nikki, paving the way for Charlotte to make the former, longest-reigning Divas Champion in history tap out to the Figure-Eight Leglock.

After the match, a watching Paige refused to acknowledge “Team NBC” and made it clear that she did not like Natalya noising in on “her girls.” 

Ryback def. Rusev

Ryback vs. Rusev: SmackDown, October 8, 2015

The Big Guy battles The Bulgarian Brute.

While Rusev was clearly not ready for marriage on Raw, he seemed more than prepared to face Ryback on SmackDown. But as Intercontinental Champion Kevin Owens joined the announce team at ringside, The Big Guy ultimately overcame the fury of The Bulgarian Brute with the Meathook Clothesline/Shell Shocked combination.

Neville vs. King Barrett: SmackDown, October 8, 2015

The Man That Gravity Forgot goes head-to-head with WWE's resident monarch.

In a true showdown between the fast and the furious, King Barrett reigned supreme over Neville, taking advantage of a separation by the referee to blast The Man That Gravity Forgot with the Bull Hammer Elbow.

Roman Reigns & Randy Orton def. Bray Wyatt & Braun Strowman by Disqualificat­­­­ion

Roman Reigns & Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt & Braun Strowman: SmackDown, October 8, 2015

The Big Dog and The Viper join forces against The Wyatt Family in SmackDown's main event.

After a war-torn Randy Orton fought to tag Roman Reigns into the action, The Big Dog went to battle against both Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman. But when the action spilled outside the ring, The New Face of Face nailed his black-clad adversary with a steel chair and brought an end to the match by disqualification.

When the assault continued after the bell and The Viper reengaged, Strowman locked The Apex Predator in his devastating finishing maneuver, only to be neutralized by the Superman Punch. That left Wyatt to suffer the double-edged onslaught of the RKO and the Spear!
